Dating back to ancient civilization, this awe-inspiring structure has withstood the test of time. Its intricate design and meticulous craftsmanship are evident in every detail captured in this photograph. The Tower of the Winds served not only as a clock but also as a weather vane, sundial, and compass - an ingenious creation that blended science and aesthetics seamlessly.

It invites us on a journey through time while reminding us that even centuries later, these remnants continue to inspire awe and wonderment. In preserving such moments frozen in time like this one from 1920-1930 ca. , Alinari ensures that future generations can appreciate the beauty found within historical sites like Athens' New Market Tower-Fortress Hellenistic complex.
